Would I make more money parting out my car or selling as a whole?

[00ciivic]

Let me start off with sorry if I am posting this in the wrong place... Didn't really know where to put it.

Now on to the question (as the title says). Its just something I've been wondering about lately, as I'm looking to buying a new car soon, before selling this one.

I have a 2000 Civic EX (body has 92k miles) with the following mods.

- JDM GSR swap from passwordjdm
- LSD transmission
- AEM Short Ram Intake
- DC 4-1 1 piece header
- No name test pipe/cat back
- Skunk2 Intake Manifold
- Skunk2 Throttle Body
- AEM Fuel Rail
- AEM Fuel Regulator
- Walbro 255 Fuel Pump
- 440cc RC Injectors
- Si Cluster

- Ground Control Coilovers / Koni Yellow Shocks
- Blox Front/Rear Camber Kit
- Blox Lower Control Arms
- DC Sports 3 Piece Strut Bar Set
(upper front, upper rear, lower rear)

I think that's everything, but most likely missing some stuff. This is how I would sell it. Unless there is a better way.

1. Motor and tranny with harness, shift linkage (with short throw shifter), chipped p28, axles, mounts... But without header, intake manifold, fuel rail/injectors, ect.

2. Sell rolling shell with stock suspension and most likely no name cat back unless someone really wants it.

3. Sell all my parts (and all my old d series parts from before swap)

The only stock b series parts I'm missing is intake manifold and throttle body. So maybe put everything stock back together and sell parts and the car as whole? But then I don't know if it would be worth it to get a intake manifold/tb from a junkyard or whatever.

Thanks in advanced for a stupid post/question.

prolly make more by parting it out, only thing is , it will take a while cause people dont have alot of money right now.

^ what he said.

i would return the car to as stock as possible and try to sell the extra stuff separate.

If you feel like swapping it back to a d series that's probably the best way to get your money back. Sell the car stock then sell the engine for a good amount over a grand. At least that's how much they go for out here. But the rolling shell idea would work just as well

Youll always make more parting it out.

I made about $1500 from my Civic, then I sold it for $3000.

you will get more from parting it.

moved to off topic for you since this isnt a tech question.

surely there should be a better place for civic related questions that just arent tech specific

If my d series wasn't blown then I'd defiantly would have done that Bleh
